ArenaNet Staff Jeffrey Vaughn.1793 Posted November 1, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 1, 2018 @"zallesz.1650" said:If the collection is unlocked the NPC should have a dialogue option to receive the "Element of the Arbor". However it only offers "Fight." or "Leave.". I tried the same with a new character who didn't have the hero point. It was possible to take the challenge and get the hero point but the collection didn't work either.If "Fight" and "Leave" are the only options, you need to complete the challenge. Afterwards, when you speak to the NPC, if you have the collection but have not obtained that item already, there's a "Would you give me something to show them you also endure?" option to receive the item.

However, I already have map completion and even if retaking the challenge it doesn't work. Here are some pictures to show the problem: Hero challenge Brisban Wildlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Jeffrey Vaughn.1793 Posted November 1, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 1, 2018 This looks like a side effect of allowing all of the skill challenges to be repeatable. I'll get a fix in for the next content update. Currently, there's about a 5 second window after completing the challenge where you can speak with the NPC to get the item, but then it switches back over to the "start the event" conversation. I'll add the option to get the item to the "start the event" conversation if you've already completed the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreggon.6598 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Was the Auric Basin Tarnished Sage hero point fixed so it would be repeatable for players who have already gotten the hero point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wotom.9576 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 So you cant talk to it in the 5 second window?I tried the 5 second widow today... after defeating him, for a couple of seconds the talk option does not appear. Then when it appears, pressing F does not show a followup window. The next time the talk option appears, the popup shows Fight or Leave option. The 5 second window which you mention, does not show the followup window after selection of the talk option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kristall.2895 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I can't get the "Awakening the Druid Stone"item. Tried every option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redland.4192 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Still an issue and blocking progress. Tried every option, having druid stone and orchids in inventory. There does not seem to be this 5 second window, goes straight to fight/leave options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khill.7821 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 So... there is a trick to get the "Restless Arboreal Spirit" to give the option to talk to get the item for the achievement collection. Fight the Spirit. Just before the hero point returns to its reset (in the window of his 1% health), spam the "talk" option as fast as you can and do not stop until he gives the option to speak for the collection item. I can confirm this just worked about 5 min ago at 7:53pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viewstar.1739 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have a similar issue with a Hero point challenge in Straits of devastation @ Veteran Risen Spectral Guard, located south-west of the map. I need it for the map completion, but the npc's friendly, with not option to interact with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 And, you will notice it was fixed for that issue. If it is stalled, now, that would likely be a different issue.https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/59129/game-update-notes-october-30-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirigaya Kazuto.8547 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It is exactly the same problem like before the fix. Same thing happened before as is now. So the patch did not fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I wasn't aware that was a Repeatable Hero Challenge. It seems the fix was pertaining to those."This looks like a side effect of allowing all of the skill challenges to be repeatable. I'll get a fix in for the next content update." -Jeffrey Vaughn Best advice: try the Hero Challenge immediately after the Release on the 17th (while you await a permanent fix).Good luck.
